100 M Final (Spoiler Alert.)

[zebo]

So sad to see the cheater beat Bolt, well done the booing crowd. I'm not a great Bolt fan but of all the runners this was the one who I didn't want to win.

[-SharonA-]

Yes it is sad, as they were on standby to party in Jamaica!!!!!
He was supposed to come home with all the medals.

Anyway well done Bolt and it is the end of an era.

[hackate]

I didn't want Farh to win but credit due . It was race of his life and took the challenge . Wanted Bolt to win but was obvious he wasnt at his peak .

[willbewhatiwill]

Sad???

Even an ordinary greyhound (or baboon, dog, cat lion, cat, etc ,etc) cab run much faster than Hussain Bolt! Their loss is my gain.

[willbewhatiwill]

I meant: Sad??? Even an ordinary greyhound (or baboon, dog, cat lion, etc ,etc) CAN run much faster than Hussain Bolt! Their loss is my gain.

[-SharonA-]

Willbe, his name is Usain! no need to be rude.

[Peter Pedant]

any lip readers ? as Bolt hugged Gatlin

"No matter ...."?

Crowd behaving as badly as when Evonne Goolagong that was, was losing to --- whomevere

Eh ?.

[ladybirder]

Hackate, who didn't you want Mo to win?

Shame Bolt didn't win tonight.

[hackate]

I didn't have money on him ladybirder. Thought the booing was out of order .

[ladybirder]

Tut! That sounds a bit mean - you didn't want him to win because you didn't have a bet on him:-(

[willbewhatiwill]

ladybirder,

In my case, I am no fan of his. I am not a betting person.

[Cloverjo]

I didn't like the booing. I know Gatlin is a drug cheat, but don't boo, just leave a stony silence.
It's a shame Bolt didn't finish on a high, but he is still amazing.

[tonyav]

Yes, jo. Pity he couldn't have retired on a win.

[Cloverjo]

He might still get the gold in the relay. I was at London 2012 when the Jamaican team won. It was just amazing.

[Ken4155]

IThe over-riding memory of Usain Bolt will not be his 3rd place tonight, but all those glorious golds he collected in a remarkable career. Gatlin will be remembered as a drugs cheat.

[willbewhatiwill]

Ken4155

Usain Bolt is born with long legs that can make longer strides - but of course he is not that fast, if we compare him with non-human species.

[Ken4155]

He's faster than a sloth:-/

[willbewhatiwill]

Ken4155 stated, "He's faster than a sloth:-/"

LOL :-)

[hackate]

Don't tut me ladybirded . That fiver could have bought me a couple of pints at Wetherapoons .

[ichkeria]

I actually felt sorry for Gatlin. If he should not have been there then that is the fault of the powers that be, allowing him to run.
And Bolt wasn't even second, so would not have won anyway
